A Refashion For Her

Not the greatest photos, but you will get the idea.

I've begun to fill an enormous box with the clothes Cub has outgrown or just does not

wear for whatever reason. She never wore this straight Levi jeans skirt and I thought it was worth saving. So, I cut a shirt that no longer fit her and sewed it to the bottom half of

the skirt. To cover the quicky cut & sew job, I sewed ruffled eyelet trim around.

I know she really likes it 'cuz I gave it to her last night

and she put it on this morning.

Boy, have a become a pro at not saying everything that is on my mind this year!

My brain was screaming...You TOTALLY can not wear clashing floral patterns!!!!!

But of course, I told her, "nice outfit" and "great job!"

I'm just so happy she is enthusiastic about dressing herself these days.

Here is the lumpy-butt back view. She actually wore her long floral shirt outside the skirt today, but it covered the ruffle trim, so I hastily tucked it in right before I took the photo for y'all!

"Come on, Mom! Hurry up!"

You get the idea, that's the main thing.
I absolutely love sewing clothes for children.
I could do this all day long...
